What makes you think this is AI slop?...

These are particular sentences I find questionable. Would you write that way? I certainly wouldn't.

GPTZero is by no means perfect, but it agreed this was likely generated.

We should instaban anyone who uses these patterns on ycombinator. If you talk like that for realsies, well too bad, try being more human and less linkedin next time
But AI is trained on human text. Human writers have already been flagged as AI – by humans who think they're AI, while they were not.
AI has been trained on the common author. If you don’t want to sound like AI, find your unique voice and write less like everyone else.
They haven't only been trained on the common author. They have also been trained to prefer quality and to dismiss hallucinations. So if a human actually does some quality writing, people might think it's AI, like has already happened.
> Would you write that way?

Well English is a foreign language for me, but yes I probably would, and then I'd get called out for being an AI haha

Not the parent, but yes I would/do write that way for effect.
Bro, do i got the bad news for you
The heading " Why it's wrong" and the structure:

>Worse: it's a conversation killer. There's nothing to respond to. Your wall of text suppresses dialogue. They can't reply, can't push back, can't clarify. It's a weapon disguised as helpfulness.

This is slop. What it's saying is not even true, it's just punchy.

Right, recent youtube solo lecture vlogs ripe with these clever punchy finishers. Annoying. I know people aren’t smart enough to actually be that witty ad hoc. Makes the whole thing feel fake af
